A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
软件
Software
By the time Apple's Macintosh operating system finally falls into the public domain, there will be no machine that could possibly run it. The term of copyright for software is effectively unlimited.
当苹果的麦金塔操作系统最终进入公众领域时，将不会有任何机器能够运行它。软件著作权的期限实际上是无限的。
I think the most difficult thing had been scaling the infrastructure. Trying to support the response we had received from our users and the number of people that were interested in using the software.
我认为最困难的事情是扩展基础设施。试图支持我们从用户那里得到的响应以及对使用该软件感兴趣的人数。
Well, user feedback was excellent. Even when the software didn't work at all, there were few people who were avid users, and there were people who were just sending excellent feedback and excellent ideas.
用户反馈非常好。即使软件根本无法工作，也很少有人是狂热的用户，有些人只是在发送优秀的反馈和优秀的想法。
Also, because schools must teach the spirit of goodwill, the habit of helping others around you, every class should have this rule: students, if you bring software to class you may not keep it for yourself.
另外，因为学校必须教授善意的精神，帮助你周围的人的习惯，每节课都应该有这样的规则:学生，如果你把软件带到课堂上，你可能不会把它留给自己。
However, writing software without defects is not sufficient. In my experience, it is at least as difficult to write software that is safe - that is, software that behaves reasonably under adverse conditions.
然而，编写没有缺陷的软件是不够的。根据我的经验，编写安全的软件至少和编写在不利条件下行为合理的软件一样困难。
There is one major problem with anti-virus software: It needs updating. Users cannot be relied upon to have even the anti-virus software in the first place, let alone be able or willing to pay for the updates.
杀毒软件有一个主要的问题:它需要更新。用户根本就不能指望拥有杀毒软件，更不用说能够或愿意为更新付费了。
'Authoring tools' are terrible; there is almost no software that can create closed captions for media players. And of course there is no training. TV captioning is bad enough, and this stuff is generally worse.
“创作工具”是可怕的;几乎没有软件可以为媒体播放器创建封闭的字幕。当然也没有训练。电视字幕已经够糟糕的了，而这些东西通常更糟。
Proprietary software tends to have malicious features. The point is with a proprietary program, when the users don't have the source code, we can never tell. So you must consider every proprietary program as potential malware.
专有软件往往具有恶意特性。关键是使用专有程序，当用户没有源代码时，我们永远无法知道。所以你必须把每一个专有程序都看作潜在的恶意软件。
On the back end, software programming tools and Internet-based services make it easy to launch new global software-powered start-ups in many industries - without the need to invest in new infrastructure and train new employees.
在后台，软件编程工具和基于互联网的服务使得在许多行业推出新的全球性软件驱动初创企业变得容易——不需要投资新的基础设施和培训新员工。
I think we're proving ourselves as we go along. The past several months our strategy has been evolutionary - making maximum advantage of our client browser, as well as our enterprise software for people who want to build Web sites.
我想我们正在证明自己。在过去的几个月里，我们的策略一直在进化——最大限度地利用我们的客户端浏览器，以及我们的企业软件，为那些想要构建网站的人服务。
Limit use of shareware and public domain software to systems without fixed disks. If you do use them on fixed disks, allocate separate subdirectories... Public domain or shareware software should never be placed in the root directory.
将共享软件和公共域软件的使用限制在没有固定磁盘的系统中。如果您在固定磁盘上使用它们，请分配单独的子目录…公共域或共享软件永远不应该放在根目录中。
Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.
计算机软件设计的世界从什么时候开始关注人们想要什么?这是一个关于进化的简单问题。这一天很快就会到来，每个人的膝盖都会跪倒在一个硅制的拳头下，你们都将祈求你们的二元神的怜悯。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

From day one our next generation system will run all our exsisting software - so that gives us a head start.
从第一天起，我们的下一代系统将运行我们现有的所有软件，这让我们有了一个良好的开端。
Software patents are dangerous to software developers because they impose monopolies on software ideas.
软件专利对软件开发人员来说是危险的，因为它们对软件思想施加了垄断。
